Hi there was just wondering if anyone has any good suggestions on the best way to clean the inside of the fish tank glass I have tried a few ways and don't want to scratch the glass but can never get it 100% clean can people tell me how they clean there
how to get all the Algee off the inside of the glass
as there's always a little bit left on or how they do a clean and water change on their tank and gravel clean
Thank you this is a picture of my tank

Scraper. I use one of those magnet cleaners for casual cleaning, but if there's real build up, break out the scraper

I use a magnet cleaner. There are several products out there. With the scratching of glass you just have to make sure there's no debris on the outside cleaner pad. Works like a charm. Wouldn't hesitate to use it :)
 
Yep, the green spot algae is the type that has to be scraped off. I use my fingernails or a credit card. Such tiny spots that you really have to look closely to see it, and/or feel the glass with your fingers, and you can usually feel it here and there.
 
Yes that's the stuff I am on about so the thing is it use the one in the link as I need step ladders to even start to reach inside my tank and I would never have reached the bottom if I just used a credit card or razorblades
